“Una Say Money No Dey This Country?” The Moment A Convoy Of Luxury Cars Was Spotted In Lagos

A recent video shared by supercars of Nigeria shows a series of luxury cars worth over a billion Naira as they drove past in convoy. 

The vehicles in question are two brand-new 2021 Mercedes Benz S-580S. These cars have a starting price of $117,700. The video shows two cars driving past an area on Lagos Island. 

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 is damn near the perfect luxury car, although the styling is subjective, and I’ll be the first to admit that the latest iteration of Mercedes’s design language isn’t my favourite. My sole complaint is that the rear end is Eeyore-tier droopy, with a chrome unibrow spanning the width of the trunk, which is my absolute least favourite 21st-century flourish.

The S580‘s interior design borrows heavily from the Vision EQS concept, with a large swath of wood trim running the width of the dashboard, punctuated by pairs of vents on either side. The 12.8-inch OLED infotainment screen rises up from the centre console, leaving enough space behind it for an additional storage tray. The cover beneath the screen moves to reveal two normal-sized cup holders, a wireless charging pad and an extra tray for masks, keys or other pocket detritus.

Under the armrest, there’s enough space for a small purse, while the door pockets are just big enough to hold some large drink containers. There’s no massive binnacle surrounding the 12.3-inch gauge display, which means the dashboard stays nice and low, making for excellent forward visibility.

Supercars of Nigeria captured this moment while driving inside a G-Wagon, saying:

The S-class sedan remains the gold standard of large luxury cars with its cutting-edge tech and countless comforts. I have 3 units available for sale, 2021 model years, S-580, all black with different interior colours, talk to me. Guess the car I was filming this video from.

Here are some of the reactions of Nigerians concerning the post:

“Una say money no dey this country omo na some people hold all our accounts like this”

“Duplexes on wheels ooo🔥🔥🔥”

“Half A billie walking 😂😍”
